FAQPage Schema
How do I provision an Elastic Cloud Serverless project for Elasticsearch or Observability?▼

Provisioning an Elastic Cloud Serverless project requires using the REST API to create instances for Elasticsearch, Observability, or Security. This process handles API key management and saves credentials locally for immediate access.

Can I configure the Elastic Cloud project region and type using environment variables?▼

Configuring Elastic Cloud projects fully supports environment variables and command-line arguments. You can specify the region, project type, and optimization settings directly through these inputs to customize the serverless provisioning.

How does scoped API key management work when creating Elastic Cloud projects?▼

Scoped API key management bootstraps secure access credentials during project creation. The process automatically generates and saves scoped keys to a local file, guiding you to use them for secure, ongoing interactions with the Elastic Cloud REST API.

What's the best way to automate setting up new Elastic Security serverless environments?▼

Automating Elastic Security serverless environments is best handled through a project creation Skill that provisions instances via the REST API. This method instantly configures the environment, manages credentials, and bootstraps scoped keys for secure access.

Are local credential files required when creating Elastic Cloud projects via the REST API?▼

Local credential files are automatically generated when creating Elastic Cloud projects. The provisioning process securely saves the necessary API keys and endpoints locally, ensuring you have the credentials required to access the newly created serverless instance.
